I appreciate the nudge for more background on the Dowling name, Trevia.

George Dowling Hooppell was born in 1908 in Chattanooga, TN. His father,
John Edward Hooppell, was born in 1882 in New York. His mother, Margaret
(Ottilin? Ottie?) Von Nordeck was born in 1885 in Newville, Kentucky. The
mother's religion was LDS.
